Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

         In my book, there are alot of issues around violence. The characters must find a way to deal with them. And sometimes they're not always dealt with in the right way.
         On page 28, Tessa had to escape the Dark Sisters. But she might have been too violent to Miranda, the clockwork maid. "... and swung it with all her might at Miranda's head. It connected with a sickening sound." Tessa might have done too much here.
        Then, on page 31, the Dark Sisters are very cruel to Tessa. They use Nathaniel's, Tessa's brother, life to get her to do what they want. "Nathaniel will not be so fortunate." They bribed Tessa using the death of her brother.
         So, problems in my book are dealt with using brutality and cruelty. I think the way the characters deal with things to rashly and could be dealt with better.
